Winslow is more than a quick stop on the way to somewhere else—it’s a destination for

memory-making:

best way.

🧭 What to Do in Winslow

1. Standin’ on the Corner Park 🎸

Yes—that corner.

Take a family photo with the bronze statue inspired by the Eagles’ hit Take It Easy, and

spot the red flatbed Ford parked nearby. It’s whimsical, it’s musical, and it makes the kids

feel like they’re part of a real-life jukebox moment. Parents, prepare to hum that tune all

day.

2. Explore the Old Trails Museum 🏺

This museum is small but mighty! It’s packed with artifacts and stories from Winslow’s

railroad, Native American, and Route 66 past. Perfect for curious kids and history-loving

grownups alike.

• Bonus: Admission is free!

3. La Posada Hotel 🌵

Even if you're not staying overnight, stop in for a tour or a meal. This historic hotel—

designed by architect Mary Colter—is a masterpiece of Southwestern charm.

• Art lovers? The on-site gallery showcases regional artists.

• Foodies? The Turquoise Room restaurant is locally sourced and deeply satisfying.

4. Hike Homolovi State Park 🏞

Just outside town, Homolovi preserves ancient Hopi ruins. Wide trails, big skies, and the

whisper of ancient footsteps make this place magical.

• Pro tip: Sunset here? Absolutely breathtaking. Bring snacks, water, and curiosity.

🥾 Active Fun for the Whole Family

Winslow is all about wide open spaces and letting your legs lead the way. Try:

• Biking around town: The streets are quiet and scenic.

• Strolling the historic downtown: Vintage signs, murals, and local shops line the walk.

• Desert scavenger hunt: Let kids search for cactus blooms, cool rocks, or cloud shapes!

And yes, the stars here shine like nowhere else. Stay up late at least one night to do some stargazing as a family. 🌌

🍽 Tasty (and Healthy-ish) Winslow Bites

When it comes to food, Winslow knows how to comfort you. Here’s what we loved:

• Brown Mug Café: A friendly stop for classic Mexican-American favorites.

• RelicRoad Brewing Co.: They’ve got local brews for grown-ups and fun, filling meals for kids.

• Sipp Shoppe: A 1950s-style soda fountain! (Just balance the banana split with a hike the next day 😉)

And don't forget your refillable water bottles—desert air = serious thirst!
